BRLD BOARD COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES
October 9, 2019
At Lyons-Decatur School Library
7:00 PM

(This meeting was held in October to allow the BRLD renewal process to take place prior to signing up for NSAA Football in November)
In attendance:  B-R – Jon Cerny, Mike Sjuts, Matt Kai, Mike Nottleman, Pat Browning and Pam Browning; LDNE – Fred Hansen, Weston Swanson, Bruce Knaak, Trevor Preston, Corey Petersen, Evan Myers and Jaime Bacon


Old Business:
1. Purchase the FAT Track System    Mr. Hansen spoke with Jeff Smith from OC, about the FAT timing system today.  OC submitted a grant on Oct. 1, was hoping to hear back if they got the grant.  We need to make it clear to OC that it is 2 schools putting in the money and not 3 Schools.  Need to try to make it paid for 50-50 or at least negotiate 60-40.
2. Report on Summer Camps Think it all went well.  Nothing different for the next summer.  Would we like to have a “formal” statement that the week of the 4th of July off.  We think coaches have been doing this already.
3.  Report on multi-sport participation 9 Letterman winner and 12 sport participation certificates.  Will be handed out at Athletic Banquet
4.  Guidelines for Junior High Practices – number of practices and practice times (JH Girls’ BB) Will start JH GBB and JH Wrestling in December to help give more practice time before games/tournament start in January.
5.  Tournament/Playoff game Hosting Discussion was made where we might host a game if BRLD host.  Since LD hosted FB in 2018, if BRLD hosts in 2019, first game would be in Bancroft.  Rotate other sports as well.  i.e. in BB, BRLD boys were in Bancroft in 2018-19, so next boys at LD.  GBB was at LD, so next girls game would be Bancroft.

New Business:
1.  Report of Principal/Athletic Directors meeting
A.   Upcoming BRLD Enrollment for 20-21 and 21-22 handout was discussed about enrollment. With projected numbers.  Projections show girls will more than likely move to C1 and boys as well.  Will possibly move to C1 in FB for 2 years starting in 2022-23.
B.    BRLD Coop renewal agreement approval Talked/agreed that Superintendent will just “e-sign” without talking at BOE meeting.  Formal BOE vote is not needed for renewal of COOP.
C.    2019-20 Coaching assignments Added JH VB coach (see item D and E) as well as adding Girls golf.  Will have to decide when JH GBB have meeting if we will add another coach for them.                                            
D.   Added JH girls VB coach (SEE ABOVE)
E.    Possibility of adding a coach in JH girls BB (SEE ABOVE)
F.   Football - ordered 4 new goal post pads to share between fields
            H.  Uniform rotation   - JH Girls and Boys reversibles already ordered for use in 2019-2020

            - Girls Basketball 2021
                                                - Boys Basketball 2022

 -- NEN Viper Coop coming up.  Would like to possibly add Lyons’s field for use for practices/games.  Need to have approval from the Summer Sports Board.  Will need to talk to other schools in Coop as well to see if they would approve.
--Possibly adding Fine Arts into Coop.  More talk would need to be made and talk to coaches, etc. before anything is done. 
--Have had Community members have approached both school’s AD, about gym mats and changing things over to BRLD colors, mascots, etc.  Maybe it could be something the BRLD Booster Club would be willing to chip in.  Will get quotes to see costs.
